My flight to Regina is confirmed for this Saturday morning, June 20, and if all goes planned I will be on the road some time around noon EST. My destination for Day 1 is about 80 km from the airport at a B&B in a prairie farm town called Indian Head. The weather forecast calls for South winds, a high of 27 and a 70% chance of wet stuff.
I am as prepared as can be, having met my training goals - over 2700 km of road training and 7 rides exceeding 100 km. and later today I am taking my bike to the shop for a final tune-up, a new set of tires and to get it gift-wrapped for Saturday's flight. The rest is in the hands of the weatherman and the bicycle gods because this guy is ready to roll.

Regina to Ottawa
Thunder Bay
July 15, 2009
In 1979 I started what would eventually become my quest to bicycle across Canada. At that time I biked from Montreal to the east coast. Over the years I did a number of stages, including Vancouver to Calgary in 1986 and Calgary to Regina in 2008. Here I am 30 years after my first stage finishing up what I call the Tour de Procrastination. I hope you enjoy the blog site.
